Isn't it nice when students come up with original  
ideas. Things I didn't know until I read this year's exams: 
 
1. Ricardo cuckolded Adam Smith for the vagueness of his  
theories. (A philosopher colleague commented 'the punishment  
vagueness deserves'.) 
 
2. Adam Smith supported the Naval Aviation acts.
